Baingan Bharta-Style Indian Eggplant Mash
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven broiler. Put the eggplant in a roasting pan and broil for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until about half of the skin is scorched.

  2. 2

    Place the eggplant in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave on High for 5 minutes, or until tender. Let it cool enough to handle, then remove the skin, leaving some scorched bits, and cut into thick slices.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the onion, and cook until tender. Stir in the eggplant and tomatoes. Season with cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Keep cooking and stirring until soft. Garnish with cilantro to serve.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
